Migration continues tonight!
Here are the radar and velocity from just after sunset until 9:45pm this evening
This movement appears to be less than last night (less continuity, less of the green signal which represent higher densities of birds). A lighter movement is pretty typical for the second day of a multi-day migration event. I suppose this is due in part to the number of birds that had been waiting around to depart last night, and that new arrivals are more likely to stick around for a few days and fatten up in anticipation of the next migration opportunity (especially early in the season).
Either way, I would expect today’s birding conditions to persist into tomorrow morning, with both an exodus and influx of individuals overnight. Thursday night is predicted to bring some precipitation along with southerly winds, but because birds will have been moving over the two preceding nights, I think the chances of seeing any significant concentration of birds due to weather are slim.
Remember to come back and post your observations!
Good Birding
